Two problems, both involving MIAW's 1

[simpleaddict]

I have created a project for a class assignment, and am pretty much done with it, although there are some problems that I can not seem to get rid of.

Just FYI I am fairly new to director, so I am not sure if what I am trying to do is difficult or not.

First problem, I created a "thumbnail" type page, where you click on a small picture, and it opens a MIAW to display a bigger picture, the MIAW has a close button, and the thumbnailed pictures are Flash buttons. This is the code that I am using:

(This could could be very incorrect)

on mouseUp me
sprite(me.spritenum) .member = "Boat_Center_Button"
global newWindow
newWindow = window "New Window"
window ("New Window&quot .filename = "Boat_Center.dir"
window ("New Window&quot .windowType = 2
window ("New Window&quot .modal = True
window ("New Window&quot .rect = rect(100, 100, 720, 500)
open newWindow
end

The problem is that it works when I play it in Director, but it does not work when I publish it. It also works when I create a projector, but since it is an assignment, I have not found out yet if we are allowed to present a projector file. All my *.dir files are in the same folder as my director movie, along with the *.htm, and *.dcr. Any help would be appreciated.

Ok second problem, the last requirement was to add music, with user controls. I created play, stop, and volume buttons, and they work fine, they all do what they are supposed to do, but, when I get to the point in the movie, whether playing in director, or in the projector, and I click on one of the "thumbnailed" MIAW the music stops playing. I can hit the play button and the music will start again, but I would like to not have to do that if it is at all possible.

Any help would be greatly apreciated.

For security reasons, MIAWs are forbidden in Shockwave movies. You can use JavaScript window instead.

As for your 2nd question, your sound needs to be in either sound channel 1 or 2, otherwise the sound in the main Stage will stop when a MIAW is opened. Also try using external DirectSound Xtra.

Thanks, for the info with problem one, as for problem two, I will look into directsound XTRA, but my music is in channel one.

Any other thoughts?

Sorry to jump in on this one but im having a similar problem.... ive created a movie with a button that links to another movie using:

on mouseUp me
play movie "new_movie"
end

It works fine from my computer however when i up load the web page and press that button the web browser still remains on the first movie.

i have read somewhere that i need to use javascript - bit of a prob im not sure where too start.

any ideas

thanks
